Lower Your San Diego Property Taxes!

Carlsbad, CA–We are advising our San Diego real estate clients to appeal the assessed value of their homes by December 1 if they feel their assessment is greater than what their home is worth in today’s market.

In past years–and in some cases–San Diego real estate owners are saving up to and even more than $200 in property taxes each month.

And what is the cost? Nada!

So how can you reduce those taxes? It’s something you can do yourself by visiting the San Diego tax assessment appeal site and mailing in the application. But do it quickly, because the deadline is coming around more quickly than you might think.

If you have any questions about the appeal process or need ammunition with comparable sales that might help lower your assessed value, please feel free to call Mike Murphy at  either 760-402-9102 or 877-818-8197 and he’ll guide you through the process. This service is FREE, a service offered happily by San Diego Previews Real Estate, and is something you can easily do yourself.

This is one way to potentially give yourself a raise in the coming year!

  1. Great idea!

    To further benefit the homeowner, they should be advised to appeal their Base Year Value which is the assessed value based on the purchase price of their home. This will result in a lower property tax base in perpetuity, not for just one year. The successful appeal will establish a new base price the future property taxes are built on. It must be appealed within three years of the year of purchase.

    This is especially beneficial if they were involved in a bidding war and may have “overpaid” based on the historical comps on their purchase date for their neighborhood.

    This is a great tip that may help homeowners avoid foreclosure.

    I worked in property tax abatement for 12 years with commercial appraisers and am currently transitioning as a newly Licensed Agent and want to work with seniors, military and newcomers to San Diego County.
